It can be a dizzy affair when you start to consider all the different shaving creams for men there are in the market. Why are there so many? Why is this a complex item for such a simple task? Let's break this down a little simpler. Shaving cream does a couple of different things. One, it softens whiskers making them easier to cut. Not a lot, but some. Two, it adds a slicking agent between the razor and your delicate face. Three, depending on the cream it adds moisture back to your skin. Voila, that's what it does. So why so many different brands and what are you really buying? Take a look here. The Shaving Soap This is the first 'cream' product people started using. It's essentially a bar of soap. Soap artisans today are adding things like clay to add better slicking properties and essential oils for skin health. If you decide to choose shave soap get a brush. It makes all the difference. This shaving medium can be a little difficult to find and is a bit of a gamble. Good shave soap works great, but the bad stuff . . . well, the only way to find out which kind of bar you have is after the fact so beware. Especially when you consider the cost of handmade, artisan shave soap. The Classic Cream This is all the suds without the bar, the icon of wet shaving. It's easy to maintain, easy to find and has additional uses like conditioning your baseball mitt or leather work boots. It's also inexpensive, which is really nice if you're shaving on a consistent basis. The one downside we can all agree on is the rust ring. Consider a cheap drink coaster to protect your tub and sink. The Mellow Gel This additive rich gel is slick, replenishes your skin, and comes in a variety of styles to suit your skin type. Sensitive skin? No problem. Tough, wiry whiskers? They have a type for you too. You need to lather it up though so be sure you get at least the shaving brush to apply it. You'll find you use less gel applying it this way. They run a little more expensive than the classic cream line and you still get rust ring. Additional Alternatives Are all of these shaving creams for men not cutting it for you? Before the creams, gels, and soaps, men who decided to shave used other slicking agents, usually various oils. Don't be afraid to shift your paradigm and consider your options. Being open to new things is being open to adventure. The Art of Shaving shaving creams for men softens and lifts the beard for a close and comfortable shave, and protects the skin from irritation and razor burn. Rich with glycerin, coconut oil and essential oils, the shaving cream leaves your skin smooth and moisturized.
